*Game Shows and Reality Capture Mid-Summer Attention*

As our east coast offices sweat out the summer, TV viewers are paying attention to contestants sweating it out on game and reality shows like "Big Brother", "Penn & Teller: Fool Us", and "The Gong Show". After June's summer premieres, July's top programs highlight what's separating from the pack.

## Highlights:

- Game shows and other competition-based programs dominated the broadcast list, led by **The Gong Show**, **Penn & Teller: Fool Us**, and CBS's hit **Big Brother**.
- Viewers were dreaming big in July. BRAVO's **Million Dollar Listing New York** was the most attention-grabbing primetime cable program.
- **NBC's Running Wild with Bear Grylls** continues to deliver a highly attentive audience**. **The program snagged the #1 spot for broadcast programs in July, and was previously the #1 broadcast show of [Q2 2017](https://www.tvisioninsights.com/cable-shows-get-viewer-attention-tvision-2q-study/).** **
